An Introduction to CSS: Styling the Web
Cascading Style Sheets, universally known as CSS, is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web. At its core, CSS is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation and visual appearance of a document written in a markup language like HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). Think of HTML as the skeleton of a webpage, providing structure and content; CSS is then the attire, makeup, and overall aesthetic that brings that skeleton to life, dictating everything from colors and fonts to layout and responsiveness across various devices. It simplifies the process of making web pages presentable and allows for the separation of a website's structure from its visual styling.
